Paint the evening away with The New York Times Bestselling author Marie Bostwick as she brings her newest book, THE PROMISE GIRLS, to Dallas for an exclusive Painting with a Twist party! Readers are invited to nibble on snacks and sip wine with Marie before we get to work painting a beautiful masterpiece.

Don’t be afraid if you’ve never painted before, Painting with a Twist makes it easy to make your take-home painting a true work of art. Marie will also provide moral support as readers paint the design inspired by THE PROMISE GIRLS along with her.

The cost is $50 and includes a copy of THE PROMISE GIRLS and all the supplies you need for the night (canvas, paint, brushes, color commentary!), along with wine and snacks to keep you fueled. We will have a few copies of THE PROMISE GIRLS available for purchase, and you are encouraged to bring your personal collection from home.

Every child prodigy grows up eventually. For the Promise sisters, escaping their mother’s narcissism and the notoriety that came with her bestselling book hasn’t been easy. Minerva Promise claimed that her three “test tube” daughters—gifted pianist Joanie, artistic Meg, and storyteller Avery—were engineered and molded to be geniuses. In adulthood, their modest lives fall far short of her grand ambitions. But now, twenty years after the book’s release, she hopes to redeem herself by taking part in a new documentary.

Meg, who hasn’t picked up a paintbrush in years, adamantly refuses to participate, until a car accident leaves her with crushing medical bills. While she recuperates in Seattle, the three sisters reluctantly meet with filmmaker Hal Seeger, another former prodigy. Like them, he’s familiar with the weight of failed potential. But as he digs deeper, he uncovers secrets they’ve hidden from each other—and a revelation that will challenge their beliefs, even as it spurs them to forge their own extraordinary lives at last.
